The Teca-Print pad (tampo) printing machines, available from Kaye-Dee Marking Solutions, combine simple operator features and come with open or sealed ink-pot system options. They are available as pneumatic or servo driven. They suit a range of applications, including the single- and multi-colour printing of logos, images and text. Equipment demonstrations at Medtec 2010 will include printing four colours onto a medical flask using the TPX 201 servo-driven, sealed pot machine.
The Series X2 pad-printing machines are designed to high technical requirements. Integrated into their design are a spacious work area, touch-screen control and standard peripheral devices. Teca-Print's printing plate system saves time with the plate changeover, while enabling operators to change to plates of various sizes. The X- and Z-axis positional adjustments are a standard feature with this plate system and the Y axis (horizontal pad stroke) is automatically adjustable through the touch-screen panel.
The Series X2 machines are claimed to provide features to help improve production and efficiency. Offering cost-effective pad printing, the Series X2 machines satisfy requirements for print quality and can be integrated into an automated high-speed production line.
